That's because we were expecting to be handling the Patchkit.

As well as debugging and fixing the Signal 6 problem, and isn't that "all"
(insert ironic tone) you've done? We checked out a *lot* of patches, and
built what we were expecting to be the next release... just those patches
necessary to *finally* make a complete system build (including all apps)
possible with a virgin system. Isn't it about time?

And I'm sorry, but deleting stuff out of someone else's directory on ref is
pretty uncool.
